Polycarbonate roofs are made from strong, durable thermoplastic sheets. Often found on conservatories as alternative to glass, they are weather resistant and can provide UV protection. Lightweight and versatile, they can be fitted to a wide range of living spaces and buildings.
Choose between our range of roof colours, each with different shading factors and solar protection. With 5 separate options, you can find the roof to suit your needs.
Our clear, multichambered polycarbonate sheets are the standard option. They are great for preventing heat loss and let in the most amount of light of all our options.
We offer standard Bronze and Bronze Opal options. The bronze sheets are very good providing shade and lowering the power of the sun. This makes them perfect for bringing down conservatory temperatures in the summer and helping to protect furniture and décor.
The Opal roof is a great all-rounder, letting in light while offering good shade and solar protection levels. Being translucent, it lets in less light than the Clear option, but provides more solar protection. Compared to Bronze, the Opal roof provides lower solar protection but lets in more light.
Our Solarguard roof is the best option for solar protection that we offer. It lets in light while deflecting solar radiation. It also limits the potential for heat build-up inside your conservatory, reducing solar heat gain by up to 50% compared with conventional polycarbonates.

If you’re thinking about adding a new conservatory, whatever roof you choose, it’s advisable to check with your local authority to see if you need planning permission. In most cases you won’t need planning permission, as conservatories normally class as a “permitted development”. If you choose us for your conservatory project, we take care of any planning applications, saving you time and hassle.
Conservatories are usually exempt from building regulations, but there are a few things to bear in mind. If you’re removing a wall for example, this would require approval. If your conservatory shares your home’s central heating system, then it will also require building regulations approval. When you choose us for your conservatory, orangery or extension project, we comply with all building regulations at all times.

Your questions on polycarbonate roofs answers by us.
A polycarbonate roof is easy to clean and most dirt can be simply be wiped away with a damp cloth. For more rigorous cleaning, we recommend wiping down the roof with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach and don’t use anything abrasive like a scourer as this may scratch the surface.
The best type of polycarbonate roof for a conservatory is generally accepted as a multi-walled roofing panel. Multi-walled polycarbonate roofs are the most common because they have stronger insulation properties over their solid counterparts. Solid polycarbonate was used in the past and is known for its strength but it doesn’t have the same properties as more modern options. Overall multi-walled options are best and we offer five-walled premium quality polycarbonate roofs for elite performance.
How long a polycarbonate conservatory roof lasts depends on how it is constructed but also where you live and its position. Budget options will likely degrade faster than more premium options, because these don’t have the same kind of UV protection properties. A professionally installed, high quality polycarbonate roof can be expected to last over 10 years.
Thinner, clear polycarbonate panels can get hotter than better constructed, protected sheets. Thicker, multi-walled polycarbonate roofs are the best for reducing the amount of heat that gets through. Even better are those with more solar reduction properties like those with Bronze coatings. Not only do we offer five-walled panels as standard, we also offer Bronze and Opal coatings as well as our own Solarguard for maximum protection.
How much a polycarbonate conservatory roof costs depends on how large your conservatory is, which company you choose and the quality of the polycarbonate panels. It is a much more affordable option than either a glass or solid roof. When you choose us for your conservatory project, we provide a bespoke price unique to you.
